PATTERN FOR DRESS-SKIRTS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 704,794, dated y 15, 1902- Application filed February 5, 1902. Serial No. 92,621. illocmodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMINE GUIDEZ, a eiti-.

zen of the United States, residing in New York, borough of Manhattan, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Patterns for Dress-' same; and the invention consists of a skirtpattern having a body representing a dressskirt divided longitudinally and-a flexible cord attached to'the waist portion, said cord having its end looped to form handpieces extending outwardly approximately in line with the upper edge of said body.

In the accompanyin'gdrawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewof my improved pattern for dress-skirts, showing it as'held in position on the waist of a woman for exhibiting the same. Figs. 2 and 3 are-respectivelya front and a rear elevation of my improved pattern, showing the supporting-cord in position thereon; and Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section on line 4 i, Fig. 2, drawn on a larger scale.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a pattern for ladies dress-skirts. The pattern is made of open-mesh muslin or other suitable fabric, the color of which corresponds to the color of the dress to be made. It is made of a size approximately so as to be equal to onehalf of the skirt when the same is divided longitudinally. The pattern is made up from the required number of pieces, which are stitched together and trimmed and finished in any suitable ornamentation, the color of the trimmings corresponding to the color of the trimmings of the dress-skirt. The upper orcwaistend of the pattern is provided with a cord B,-which isstitched to the same, said cord being preferablymade of featherbone, which is durable'and possesses the required flexibility; The ends of the cord are formed into loops h, which project beyond the upper or waist end, as shown in Figs-2 and 3. The loops 1) serve as handpieces for conveniently holding the patternto the waist without pin= ning or otherwise attaching it thereto when exhibiting it, the style of the;pattern enabling dressmakers anditheir customers to make their proper selection.

Having thus; described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A skirt-pattern having a. bodyrepresenting a dress-skirt divided longitudinally, and a flexible cord attached to thewaist portion, said cord having its end-looped'toform handpieces extending outwardly approximately in line with the upperedge of said body, substantially asset forth.

in testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HERMINE GUIDEZ.
